Faithful Phonics: S&B Nursery Rhymes (PD Course for Early Years Educators)

Teaching Islamic Nursery Rhymes with Purpose & Joy!

When children are young, their hearts and minds are wide open—and the rhythms and rhymes they hear in these early years leave a lasting imprint.

That’s why nursery rhymes are so powerful: they develop phonemic awareness, build vocabulary, and spark a love for language—all while shaping moral imagination and Islamic identity.

This professional development pilot course equips teachers and school leaders with the vision, tools, and resources to integrate faith-rooted, phonics-rich nursery rhymes into their classrooms.

You’ll learn how to teach with the upcoming Swords & Butterflies Nursery Rhymes Collection, composed and designed by our instructor, Besim Bruncaj, over the course of several years in a way that supports both literacy outcomes and spiritual development.

Why take this PD course?

🕌 Introduce key Islamic concepts (salah, wudu, du‘a, sunnah) in child-friendly language.

🎨 Foster joyful learning, classroom connection, and early love for the deen.

🎵 Preserve the charm of classic nursery rhyme rhythms and meters—crafted in the familiar poetic styles that generations of children love, now imbued with Islamic values.

✅ Simple, ready-to-use lesson plan templates
